An Alaska woman came home to find out a thief broke into her home and stole clothing, jewelry, prescription drugs and the mounted head of a zebra she had on a wall.
A security camera recorded a woman carrying items, including the zebra, out the front door of Stacy Scott’s Anchorage, Alaska, home last Friday and into a waiting cab.
‘Being so brazen to come into someone’s home, make yourself comfortable and literally leave by calling a cab and putting a zebra in the back,’ Scott said to KTVA.

Scott told the Anchorage television station that she received the zebra head from a friend when she worked at a downtown boutique.
‘I thought he’d be a great addition to my home — just something fun and whimsical. I was about to dress him up for Christmas actually,’ she added
She named the head ‘George’ and said that he was a staple in her house.

Police arrested a 38-old woman named Desiree Fuller at an Anchorage motel where the cab driver had dropped her off. The suspect is charged with felony burglary and theft.
‘If a suspect leaves in a vehicle, we’re going to do everything we can to track that down,’ said APD spokesperson Renee Oistad.
‘In the case of a People Mover bus or a cab company we can call dispatches of those companies and find out where they picked people up, where they dropped them off.’

Police have recovered some of Scott’s items but George is still missing.
Scott is in disbelief that such an incident could occur in a busy neighborhood in broad daylight.
She said: ”It’s not about George and all my stuff, it’s the brazenness of the whole thing. It’s the holidays and people are giving. I certainly would have helped out in some way. You didn’t have to do what you did.’
